Hamas: “They are slaughtering us! Someone save us!” Also, Hamas: “We are defeating the Zionists!” 🙄 Hamas: “Help! We have no water, gas, or electricity!” Also, Hamas: “Look, we fired rockets into Israel today, recorded it with our fancy phones, then posted it on the internet.” 🙄 Hamas: “We will sacrifice our children so they die as shahidim!” Also, Hamas: “OMG, our children are dying!” 🙄 Hamas: “They are starving us! Someone send food!” Also, Hamas: “The Zionists are lying. The hostages have all the food they want.” 🙄 Hamas: “We will kill all the Jews and then we will come after the west!” Also, Hamas: “Please, western countries. Come to our rescue!” 🙄 Hamas: “October 7th was our proudest day! We’ll do it over and over!” Also, Hamas: “The Zionists are lying about October 7th!” 🙄 Hamas: “We are refugees in an open air prison! Life is hell here!” Also, Hamas: “Trump is insane if he thinks we’re leaving. This is our home!” 🙄 Hamas: “Make them stop. The Zionist aggression is unjustified!” Also, Hamas: “We won’t stop fighting until every single Jew is dead. No form of resistance is off limits!” 🙄 Hamas: “We won’t stop fighting for the Palestinian people!” Also, Hamas: “We will use Palestinians as human shields, maximize Palestinian death for PR purposes, steal aid from Gazans, and hide underground while Gazans remain in the line of fire because we built tunnels instead of bomb shelters!” 🙄 Hamas: “Stop the Zionists. Ceasefire now!” Also, Hamas: “Globalize the intifada!” 🙄 Hamas: “Make them stop. They won’t stop. They’re hurting us!” Also, Hamas: “Release the hostages? Yea, no.” 🙄 Hamas: “Life in Gaza was unbearable. That’s why we attacked on October 7th!” Also, Hamas: “Gaza was paradise before other 7th. Look what the Zionists did!” 🙄 Hamas: “We are heroes!” Also, Hamas: “Excuse me while I go hide underground surrounded by innocent women and children who I viciously beat and sexually assault on a regular basis.” 🙄 Hamas: “Allah is great. We are following his word. We are devout Muslims, which I’ll remind you, is the religion of peace!” Also, Hamas: “Let’s go murder, behead, and rape men, women, and children.” 🙄 Hamas: “The evil Zionists are killing innocent children! Almost everyone they killed was innocent.” Also, Hamas: “Let’s educate our kids from age zero to murder Jews. Let’s show them how to use weapons and teach them that Jews are pigs! Let’s send them into a war zone to increase the chances of them dying.” 🙄 Listen, Hamas is a group of murderers, rapists, and pedophiles. They are monsters. Genocidal maniacs who have forfeited any remaining shreds of humanity. I don’t expect anything else from them besides bold faced lies. But you, you in the west, you who stands for human rights, you who has a conscience, you who appreciates the value of life, you who understands that rape is never justified, from you, I do expect more. Stop believing and spreading their propaganda. Don’t you see that it leads directly to murder? Stop remaining silent in the face of pure evil. Their lies are ridiculous but infinitely more ridiculous is the fact that millions of otherwise moral and intelligent people, believe those lies. You were given a brain. Use it.

I am sitting next to a top scientist who is a professor at @UCSF. She is explaining how higher education is failing us. Among other things, she just told me that the words ‘excellence’ and ‘resilience’ are no longer permissible speech at UCSF because they are ableist and therefore discriminatory. She says the institution is past the point of no return.

I am going to treat Spain like Israel is treated and deliver a version of the truth with deliberate, foul intent. It’s an example of how news media and influencers choose to focus on a country’s worst attributes, while ignoring unique historical and cultural circumstances.

Heartbreaking to see many brilliant minds working on AI so harried and henpecked by the aggressively ignorant crowd's agenda that they not only adopt the signs and sigils of the hostile illiterati—some actually begin to believe that their own work is "dangerous" and "wrong."
Imagine you look up a recipe on Google, and instead of providing results, it lectures you on the "dangers of cooking" and sends you to a restaurant. The people who think poisoning AI/GPT models with incoherent "safety" filters is a good idea are a threat to general computation.

What is Happening in Israel is Devastating.. Watching all of these families and especially children being herded, assaulted and murdered in the streets is Heartbreaking. Imagine if this was happening to you?? It’s Un-fathomable. Conflicts can never be resolved with violence. Unfortunately Humanity does not understand this Universal truth. Has Never Understood it. We live in a World Ravaged by Hate. My heart goes out to Israel. To Families and Homes that have been destroyed. To children who are lost. To Innocent Victims who have Been Killed. To All who are Suffering or who will suffer from this conflict. Im Praying For you. I am aware that this is the work of Hamas and there are many innocent people in Palestine who do not support this terrorist organization. This Tragic attack will only cause more suffering for everyone Let us all Pray. For Israel. 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 For Peace. 🤍 For The World.

Working at startup is basically like “the eng team uses Github, product is transitioning from Notion to Confluence but some things are still in Google Docs, marketing likes a mix of Asana and Clickup, but make sure to keep Airtable updated. Do NOT use Evernote without approval

The Israeli medical aid delegation landed this evening in #Türkiye. 230 men and women along with hundreds of tons of medical equipment were flown to the disaster area on 15 planes of the Israeli Air Force. Good luck and a safe and successful mission! #earthquakeinturkey

I’m a fan of Microsoft and have been for years. I even liked products that others didn’t, like Windows phone. Having said that, I started working with a startup that’s exclusively Microsoft. OneDrive, outlook, etc. I cannot describe my level of frustration with these products!

There's a rule of thumb that managing someone takes half a day a week, including planning, 1-1s, business reviews, escalations, etc. So 8 reports means 4 days / week are taken, and you need at least a day for your own work. It's just a guideline though,
